The busy season is somewhat over, we
again have time To draw a long breath
and We Will resume our pen. Many
things have happened III and around our
village since we last wrote of which we
will note some of the more trtiing aud
leave the rest until we have had time to
collect our scattered thoughts.
EUsY REPAIRING.
Since the warm spring weather has set
in our villagers have been busy repairing
painting and whitewashing, which make
our village present much better out
ward appearances.
PROSPEROUS FARMERs.
Our farmers are well up with their
spring work, the present prospect for
wheat and grass crop is good and our
farmers are wearing the smile of pros
perity.
sUCH GOSPEL PREACHING.
Our church is i'll prosperous condi-
tion under the charge of Rev. III. T. Lit
singer who had thus far treated us to
sound gospel preaching. An ounce of
fact is worth a ton of theory and we hope
our brother will still continue to expound
the truths of the bible.

off and behold all things have become
new, Yet our racket man thinks not he
says there is only heavy strain upon
them and tt ey will come all right AFTER
abit. We ale very doubtful as to our
young friends particular case.
IT IL. GET THERE ALL THE SAME"
One of our young Kansas men has been
industriousiy engaged for some time cul-
tivatiug mustache. We are happy to
note that his labors have not been in
vain. for it (the mustache) is now visible
with the naked eye, and we think ere
long his whole upper lip will be covered
with luxuriant growth of golden hair.
\ CORDIAL RECEPTION.
Our young friend John johnson re-
turned home from Wilmington or Sat
urday evening last where he had been
for some time learning the machinist
trade, and as he drew near the residence
of his father his ears were greeted with
slvery peals of merry laughter, and on
entering the house ne was agreeably sur
prised to find the spacious parlors filled
with happy company of young folks of
both sexes, who had been invited there
on that evening by the kind parents of
our young friend, and who gave him
cordial reception. All of them were glad
to see the smiling face and listen to the
witty savings of our young friend. Yet
we are sorry that his friend Mr.. Rugby,
who was to accompany HIM home, failed
to do so. This also caused some of our
girls much chagrin. But all were bent
on enjoying themselves and did not let
their disappointment in not seeing the Viii,
mington beau mar their happiness. Con
splGious, among those present we noticed
one, Mac" " from over against the row.
He being one of the humorous kind was
trump for the evening, and declared
that "Miss Alice was Queen of hearts,"
The merry making was protracted well
or towards Sunday, when with many re-
grets at having to part, and with many
thanks TO our friends for their hospitable
entertainment, our party dispersed and
returned to their several homes, each
lady taking with Der, her conquest for
the evening Ron
